Always been my favorite Stones' track.

"Moonlight Mile"
"Winter"
"Sway"
"Shine A light"



My favorite Rolling Stones songs. Keef didn't play on any of'em. The band was better with Mick Taylor. Jagger is underrated. Dude is a genius. Doesn't get credit for it. Right up there with Lennon as a songwriter.

We need to have a drink. Those are all top 10 for me.

Would like to add 'Let It Loose' to the top track for Exile.

 

[PennyLanePHINS]

I really like "Don't Stop" from Forty Licks. Underrated!

Awesome tune. Can't hear it without picturing coked up Ray Liotta tho.

Can we post the worst Stones songs.....

There are some bad ones, again just for fun:

Shattered and (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction are my favorite songs from the Stones.

The two London shows at the O2 Arena went on sale today - and according to reports, both shows were sold out within minutes. Tickets have popped up in resale websites, for a whopping $20,000.

It's nearly impossible to pick an all-time favorite Stones song. Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Sympathy for the Devil, and Beast of Burden, along probably with Waiting on a Friend, would all be contenders.

 

[corianderstem]

I have pretty boring Stones tastes. My favorites are Gimme Shelter, Sympathy For the Devil and Brown Sugar ... although Tumblin' Dice has recently been moving up the list.

 

[cobl04]

Sympathy is my favourite for sure.

Favorites:
Tumbling Dice
Time waits for no one
Can't you hear me knockin'?
Start me up
She's so cold

Gimme Shelter is a song that never gets old for me. One of my favourite songs in general.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

"Gimme Shelter" is awesome. I too love that one-would definitely be in my top 5.

Also have always loved "Paint it Black", and "Angie" (for slightly obvious reasons ...no, seriously, though, I do love that song). "Beast of Burden" would be in there, too.

"Ruby Tuesday" has to be my personal favorite Stones song, though.

The boys are playing now a "secret" warmup gig in Paris. 15 euros was the price of the ticket. About 350-500 lucky ones.

Mine is probably Gimme Shelter, but depending on the day it could go to Paint It Black or Satisfaction. Mrs. Tourist says hers is She's A Rainbow.

Thought the same thing. I guess they really love SG...

 

[bollox]

Can't knock that. Would love to hear Shattered and When the Whip Comes Down.

Set list:

IOOR

Its Only Old Rolls??

 

[prbiker15]

Love that they played Shattered. Surprised they didn't play Satisfaction, but it was good to change it up for a small, intimate gig.

 

[IWasBored]

I despise shattered.

 

[prbiker15]

The Stones played another secret gig in Paris last night.

Anyone seen them recently? Do they still sound okay? Not that I'll go, just wondering.

You mean recently as in the last 2 warm up gigs? There are some videos on youtube and they are sounding better than the last 2007 gigs. But on the last 2007 gigs Keef was still recovering from the stroke (or the coconut tree falling as they wanted us to believe) and his performances were really bad.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Ha, that's a pretty nice conspiracy theory you have there.

Got any proof to back up the claim that it was actually a stroke?

Wait, my brother is a doctor and a RS fan. Is that not allowed? What's a "proper" fan do for a living?
